Transcript
00:00The Muslim community itself must consider whether hiding the entire face in public places is a wise idea.
00:08I do not think it's a good idea to be in a public place and hide your entire face.
00:14It might be a socially troublesome thing.
00:17Any miscreant can don the burqa and do whatever he pleases.
00:21The CCTV will be ineffective, the police will be handicapped.
00:24You will just not know what's going on.
00:26But when it comes to the hijab, let it be the woman's choice.
00:29Let the woman decide whether she wants to reveal her hair, her body, her neck and such things.
00:35Let the woman decide.
00:36The job of the government is to educate.
00:39If you are really concerned about women, please educate them well and then leave them free.
00:45They will decide on their own.
